HOP-GROUERS GLOOMY.
Three Years of Disaster in Central Ne,



York.
UTICA, n. Y, May lS.-A gloomy feel
ing pervades the hop districts of Central
New York. Two years ago the grower
hardly realized enough from his hops to
pay the cost of raising. Those who
protited materially were they who were
able to hold their product for the better
price, which came year later Last
year the crop was almost an entire fail
Ure. Two years of misfortune brought
distress to many and failure to more
than few. A third year of disaster
means ruin to a still greater number and
the uniform report by hop farmers is that
a third bad year is before them. One
of the largest growers in the vicinity
of Waterville says that in what
has been his best yards one
hill in ten is dead. OF the remaining
nine, perhaps two give promise of vigor-
Gus vines. The others present a fuzzy
appearance, indicating absence of vital
ity. "ThOse hills" he adds, will yield
no hops. The outlook is very bad all
around US, as bad as it well could be.
Many Of us are putting the plow in and
will try something IN place of hops. The
conditions are equally bad in the por-
tions Of Madison County from which re-
ports are received. In the vicinity of
Morrisville the plow has been put into
two-thirds of the hop yards. Some esti-
mate the plowing up as high as 70 per
cent -

THEY WANT BILLIONS.
Two Pennsylvania Ladies Suing the Gov
ernmeut.

PHILADELPHIA, May 18.-Miss Jane E.
Hall, of Montgomery County, Pa, and
married sister living III this city have in
stituted suit to recover 81 100000 from
the United States government. The
ladiesclaim to be lineal descendants ofono
Jacob De Haven, wealthy Frenchman
who emigrated to America and settled
near NOrristown in anti-revOlutiOnary
times. The story goes that in 1777
De Haven loaned the colonial govern
ment half a million francs with which to
pay the troops, and during the latter
years of the struggle contributed further
of money, food and forage. During
WashingtOn's first administration Mr..
De Haven presented his claims to
congress, and they were allowed,
but as there was not any
surplus in those days the claimant
was told that he must wait for his mon
ey. He died before he received a penny,
and for more than half century the
claim lay dormant. Some time between
1850 and 1860, it is said the official
records in Washington were examined
and sum was appropriated to pay the
De Haven debt, but the claimants, each
insisting on priority, were so many, and
the testimony as to descent from De
Haven so poor that no division of the
money could be made and the civil war
put a stop to further proceedings in the
matter. Now, however, Miss Hall and
her sister insist that they can prove
incOntestably they are De Haven's
true heirs and that they have placed
their claim in the hands of NOrrlstown
lawyer with instructions to bring suit
against the Government at once.

The Chicago Labor Troubles Becoming z
More Complicated Than Ever.
The initial stepin securing the COM
plete lockout OF all carpenters was
taken at Chicago on the 10Th, by q
contractor who informed his men that
hereafter it was ten hours work or
nothing. The carpenters were united
in stopping work. This return to the
ten-hour day was discussed at re-
cent meeting OF the Master Carpenters
association, but was finally laid upon
the table. The present state of al
falrs shuts out all carpenters at work
upon brick or stone buildings, but
does not affect those at work on frame
buildings; hence the only way to Sc
cure a complete lockout oil those ia
bo1ers is to demand the return to the
longer day.

WASHINGTON, May pa decision will

interest to shippers, consumers and rail-
road companies. For considerable
period the Canadian Pacific Railroad
Company has been endeavoring TO OBJ

that goods shipped in bond from San
Francisco to Port Moody could be car
ried under the same bond to any place
within the United States over the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad The permission
to bond goods over this line, therefore
is, in effect, permission TO the Canadian
Pacific to transport merchandise from
the Pacific coast TO any desired point in
the United States at such rates as It may
fix. The advantages Of such a route to
shippers, especially if at the expiration
Of the term of suspension the fourth sec

by the shippers themselves. Those who

WASHINGTON, d. c., May lS.-Acting
Commissioner Stockslager has refused
the application of Lester A. Bartlett to
locate with Gerard scrip certain lands
on the lake front in the city of Chicago,
for the reason that there are no public
lands Of the United States in the City of
Chicago that are subject to entry under
general laws, and consequently none
that can be appropriated by scrip loca-
tions under general laws or floating
rights of entry of any character" and
the further reason that the status of
the lands in question has been settled
by reported decisions of the Department
of the Interior" The lands embraced
in the rejected applications are occupied
by the tracks and buildings of the Hi
nois Central Railroad Company, and are
valued at several millions of dollars.
The acting does not dis
cuss the question Of actual title, but says
that if any of said lands belonged 70 the
United States a special act of Congress
would be required for their disposal.

FLORENCE, May 17.-Signor Fazzari,
member of the Chamber of Deputies
writes to La Malone that he believes an
entente between Italy and the Vatican
could easily be attained if the Pope
would direct the ecclesiastical authorities
of the Vatican to support at the next
election for the Chamber of Deputies
candidates favoring such a reconcilia-
ton. The writer says King Humbert is
powerless to act unless public opinion
points the way. 1t is necessary, there
fore that the Pope, continuing his policy
of conciliation, should so act as to make
possible the election ola large majority
who favor reconciliation. The moment
has come for decisive action. Let the
Pope take the initiative and it will be
grateful to him. The letter of Sig. Faz-
zari has been much discussed in Parlia-
mentary circles in Rome.
